- convery 5y agoBTW, Firefox on mobile lets you do that as well.
- entropicdrifter 5y agoFirefox for Android also supports uBlock Origin
- Normille 5y ago..but, unfortunately doesn't have text-reflow. Yandex Browser has text-reflow and used to support uBlock Origin [and other extensions] too. Now it no longer supports installing uBO. So Android currently has two browsers, each of which is half useful!
- The_Colonel 5y agoNote that Yandex is a Russian company and as such carries significant risks.
- 3np 5y agoYou are not wrong but the same can be said for PRC and USA companies. Mentioning that every time the products and services of these three countries are mentioned is not interesting.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoNew pipe will do that too. Or just watching the video in the phone browser.
- Tenoke 5y agoIt doesn't work in android chrome, I just tried. It does work in Firefox though.
- izacus 5y agoOr you know, paying a few bucks for the music via Premium subscription.
- ChuckNorris89 5y ago>Or you know, paying a few bucks for the music via Premium subscription. Or you know, not lecturing people off your high horse on giving their hard earned cash to your corporate overlords on top of their private data, and instead, letting them use the internet as they please. A few bucks here and a few bucks there adds up significantly for those not on Bay Area wages and getting hit by rampant inflation and energy prices. You can donate to the creators Patreon, PayPal or Crypto wallets, if you wish to support them. If YouTube were a boot-strapped start-up in a garage, I would totally agree with your point, but instead Google-YouTube is a multi trillion dollar monopoly and I'm already giving them my private data they monetize, which is more than enough, there's no way I'm giving them my hard earned cash on top of my private data, while they engage in anti consumer behavior by removing the dislike button and using other dark patterns to squeeze view time out of small creators and "maximize engagement" out of their user base.
- izacus 5y agoThat's some serious mental gymnastic you have going there just to avoid paying musicians a few bucks to listen to their music. Don't worry, pirates have gone through these mental gymnastics to feel better about their entitlement since the time Napster appeared. Still doesn't change the fact that the author of that post refuses to pay a shitty 12 bucks per months to get access to all the music he wants and pay both the infrastructure provider and the musician performing the tracks. They could easily pay for Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, iTunes or any of the other services if "YouTube is such an evil monster monopoly". But it's not about that is it? I wonder if you're so lenient when someone refuses to pay for your own companys services and just wants them for free.
- zoover2020 5y agoNewPipe does this, too :)
- Sakos 5y agoThe most important part of Vanced is it allowed you to login to your account. NewPipe isn't an alternative to Vanced. It fills a completely different (more privacy-focused) niche.
